The story behind
Woman Oh Woman, according to DoReSol
The song Woman Oh Woman, part of the debut album by Foreigner, has an interesting history tied to the band's formation itself. Before Mick Jones and Lou Gramm joined forces, Jones had already composed several pieces that would eventually become part of this first work. In fact, Gramm performed three of them — including Feels Like the First Time and At War with the World, as well as Woman, Oh Woman — during his audition to join the project. The duration of this track is 3:53.
The recording of this album, released on March 8, 1977, under the Atlantic label, featured several engineers such as Jimmy Douglass, Michael Getlin, Kevin Herron, Gary Lyons, and Randy Mason. The mixing was handled by Jimmy Douglass, alongside Mick Jones and Ian McDonald, who also contributed to the production along with Mick Jones, Gary Lyons, and John Sinclair. This record, which saw the light of day in 1977, led to singles that achieved great popularity such as Feels Like the First Time, Cold as Ice, and Long, Long Way from Home.
